I'm thinking about ordering a Weatherby Mark V Hunter (probably in 308) in the not too distant future. It gives the option of Action Blue Printing for $250. I am not a gun guru so I was hoping to get your thoughts on whether this is something that is worth it? If it is, I will spend the extra money but don't want to just throw money at something that I don't need.
The option states it includes "hand honing, truing receiver and bolt face, and lapping of lugs".
My intended purpose for the rifle is for hunting and not super long range target shooting. Hypothetically say a maximum range of 500 yards even though I would limit myself to shorter than that in the field. It would be nice to have accuracy out to this farther distance of 500 yards for practicing. Weatherby is supposed to guarantee sub-MOA anyway. Would blueprinting be likely to give me enough improved accuracy in the Mark V to make it worth it?
Edited to add: I will be shooting factory ammo.
Give me your thoughts gun gurus!
